Correcting Alignments for All Ages

Upper cervical care is providing relief for many different disorders—allowing the body to better repair itself. This care provides relief and often assists other treatment methods for issues including diabetes, asthma, inner ear disorder, lower back pain and others. Since this treatment is so effective on adult patients, many wonder if it is an acceptable treatment for children.

Upper cervical care is, in fact, an excellent part of the overall care plan for many diseases and disorders in children. An upper spine that is out of alignment can cause significant nerve damage and make it more difficult for the body to fight off other diseases and illnesses.

Parents may be a bit nervous about seeking upper cervical care for their children since the body and spine is still growing. This is certainly a valid concern, but parents should rest assured that upper cervical chiropractic care is very safe for children.

Upper cervical care only affects the top two vertebrate and as such, has much less of an impact on a growing spine than other types of chiropractic care. Parents can rest easy knowing that this type of treatment is safe and not likely to cause any damage to a child—in his or her spine or elsewhere in the body.

The best thing about upper cervical care is that it is not painful or invasive. Patients normally feel a sense of comfort and relief during and after the treatment. While our practice is not focused on curing any particular illness or disease, the care that we give is effective in making the nerves in the body work as they are intended. This care gives the body the tools it needs to repair itself.
